The art of excellent women

She puts on strength and honor as if they were her clothes.
She can laugh at the days that are coming.

 

 Who can find an excellent woman?
    She is worth far more than rubies.

statue of an ancient woman with children

    
 She puts on strength and honor as if they were her clothes.
    She can laugh at the days that are coming.                     

 She speaks wisely.
    She teaches faithfully.

 She watches over family matters.
    She is busy all the time.

 Her children stand up and call her blessed.
    Her husband also rises up, and he praises her.

 He says, “Many women do excellent things.
    But you are better than all the others.”

 

classical woman statue

Charm can fool you. Beauty fades.
    But a woman who has respect for the Lord should be praised.

 Give her honor for all that her hands have done.
    Let everything she has done bring

praise to her at the city gate.
